  1. Agenda of needs Reduce time-to-market Increased team productivity Reduce design & manufacturing costs Improved solution for manufacturing tools Convenient & confidential in-house solution

  2. Why Companies Choose FDM Variety of durable thermoplastics Large capacity & envelope Versatile & expandable

  3. Thermoplastics Family ABS-M30 ABS-M30i ABSi PC-ABS Polycarbonate PC-ISO ULTEM 9085 PPSF/PPU Soluble Supports*

  4. Performance • Envelope size • Materials • Accuracy • Resolution • Flexibility • Supports

  5. Summary Reduce time-to-market Increased team productivity Reduce design & manufacturing costs Improved solution for manufacturing tools Convenient & confidential in-house solution

  6. Thermoplastic Materials

  7. Materials: ABS-M30 Unique Properties • Up to 70% stronger than ABS material • High tensile, impact, and flexural strength • More durable part than standard ABS • Versatile, good for form, fit and function • Variety of colors

  8. Materials: ABS-M30 Success Story • Simple fixture to aid in assembly process • Consistent height of post above plate • Integrated part number & description • Single vs. multiple piece construction • Time & cost savings

  9. Materials: ABS-M30i Unique Properties • Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) • Medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging • Sterilize using gamma radiation EtO • Best fit for good strength and sterilization

  10. Materials: ABS-M30i Success Story • Custom dental drill guide in hours • Contact with flesh - ISO-10933 • Designed from dental impression scan • Locks in and accurately positions drill • Tungsten bushing on wear surfaces • Fast, accurate, inexpensive tools

  11. Materials: ABSi Unique Properties • Translucent material • Amber • Clear • Red • Ideal for automotive tail lens applications • Blend of mechanical and aesthetic properties

  12. Materials: ABSi Success Story • Bidding process for after-market supplier • Desired new design concept model • Set apart from others with concept model • Chose their design over others • Attributed to lighted concept model

  13. Materials: PC-ABS Unique Properties • Best properties of PC and ABS • Mechanical props heat resistance of PC • Feature definition surface appeal of ABS • High impact strength

  14. Materials: PC-ABS Success Story: New Stapler Design • Design objectives • Ergonomic & modern design • Reduce manufacturing cost • Consumer focus group • 8 design concepts evaluated • 3 month field testing • PC-ABS functional prototype • Good fit with high-impact strength • Improved design & profitability

  15. Materials: Polycarbonate (PC) Unique Properties • Most widely used industrial thermoplastic • Superior mechanical properties • Accurate, durable, and stable • High heat resistant

  16. Materials: Polycarbonate (PC) Success Story • Small scanner for research subjects • PC does not show up in imaging • Reduced time & cost • 14 days vs. 5 days (64% savings) • £1800 vs. £680 (62% savings)

  17. Materials: PC-ISO Unique Properties • Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) • Sterilize using gamma radiation or EtO • Medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging • Applications requiring strength and sterilization

  18. Materials: PC-ISO Success Story • Patient custom cutting & drilling guide • Designed from 3D MRI data • ISO 10993 Certification • Increased surgical accuracy • Reduced surgery and recovery time

  19. Materials: ULTEM 9085 Unique Properties • FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) certified • High heat and chemical resistant • Ideal for commercial transportation • Highest tensile and flexural strength Demonstration of mechanical strength

  20. Materials: ULTEM 9085 Success Story • New “eye-ball” air vent design required • Required for commercial aircraftapproval • Initially to test fitment and validate design • Certifications allowed commercial flight • Also use for low-volume manufacturing

  21. Materials: PPSF/PPSU Unique Properties • Highest heat and chemical resistance • Mechanically superior, greatest strength • Sterilize using gamma radiation or EtO • Applications in caustic and high heat

  22. Materials: PPSF/PPSU Unique Properties • Diesel vapor coalescer filter • Captures & re-burns oil, fuel, soot • Required by new emissions standard • Robust & functional prototype required • Testing +70hrs part survived • Validated design to OEM

  23. Materials: Soluble Supports Unique Properties • Soluble material • Dissolves in detergent/water • Quick and hands free • Flush down drain • Easy to sand and polish • Soluble supports & cores

  24. Conventional fixture making Cost and time requirements were high Lack of design freedom reduced productivity FDM used to produce fixtures Have over 400 assembly fixtures Several built on Fortus system FDM enhances ergonomics Organic shapes maximize performance Sparse fill cut weight 72% Time and cost savings Typical cost reduced from £420 to £176 Typical lead-time reduced from 18 to 1.5 days BMW Reduces Time and Cost to Build Fixtures
